    (This event is offered as a live Webinar only)

    In the current regulatory landscape, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is a key regulation that touches on virtually all businesses operating within the United States, and it's crucial to understand that this includes even the smallest of businesses, such as single-member LLCs. Our specially designed 90-minute workshop aims to simplify the CTA, transforming its complex requirements into clear, straightforward actions that every business owner and manager can follow. Presented in plain, accessible language by experts, this session will guide you through the entire process: from identifying if your business needs to comply (spoiler alert: if you're a single-member LLC, you do!) to gathering the required information, and submitting it correctly.

    No business is too small to be exempt, and overlooking this critical compliance could lead to significant repercussions. This workshop is particularly important for solo entrepreneurs and single-member LLC owners who might not realize that they fall under the CTA's scope. Through an engaging and jargon-free format, we'll ensure you understand how to comply with the CTA, covering the essential steps, deadlines, and procedures to protect your business. Whether you've just started your entrepreneurial journey or are looking to ensure your existing business aligns with current laws, this workshop is your comprehensive guide to navigating the CTA with confidence and ensuring your business remains compliant.

    About The Generosity Mindset and John Ray 

    #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER

    If you are a professional services provider, your goal is to do transformative work for clients you love working with and get paid commensurate with the value you deliver to those clients. While negative mindsets can inhibit your growth, adopting a different mindset, the Generosity Mindset, can replace those self-limiting beliefs. The Generosity Mindset enables you to diagnose and communicate the value you deliver to clients and, in turn, more effectively price to receive a portion of that value.

    Whether you’re a consultant, coach, marketing or branding professional, business advisor, attorney, CPA, or work in virtually any other professional services discipline, your content and technical expertise are not proprietary. What’s unique, though, is your experience and how you synthesize and deliver your knowledge. What’s special is your demeanor or the way you deal with your best-fit clients. What’s invaluable is how you deliver great value by guiding people through massive changes in their personal lives and in their businesses that bring them to a place they never thought possible.

    The combination of all these elements is quite different for you compared to any other service provider in your industry. Therein lies your value, but it’s not the value you see. It’s the value your best-fit customers see in you.

    If pricing your value feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar to you, this book will teach you why putting a price on the value your clients perceive and identify serves both them and you, and you’ll learn the factors involved in getting your price right.
